Police have said they are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a missing 8-year-old girl from Streatham.

Katrina Carvajal-Zurita was last seen at 6pm yesterday (Tuesday, July 15) in Greyhound Lane.

She is described as being of Spanish heritage, slim build with long brown hair.

At the time of her disappearance she was wearing white shorts, white trainers, a black t-shirt and a scarf with black and white dots.
